I’m not a doctor, but when I was a kid, we dared each other to eat gross things, hung out with our friends to keep them company when they were sick, played in the dirt, drank creek water, never checked expiration dates, ate things that fell on the floor and refused to bathe unless we were covered in mud.

Maybe that has something to do with us not being soy bugmen.

Seems like being disgusting dirty boys made strong men.

To add, we all knew that one kid, who’s mom babied him, and he never did any of those things we did, and he was always home sick, with a nebulizer running, and a pile of OTC meds and tissues by his nightstand…

Good advice. But don’t pick on kale too much. It’s more important to eat a broad *variety* of vegetables, and make sure they’re organic and local if possible. Growing your own is even better.
